Incredible location, food and experience. Overall just an impeccably curated space with deep attention to detail. Come with a mission or goal and stay in the treehouses :)

Very disappointing, sadly. Basically, you get the amenities and service of a three-star hotel, but for the price of a five-star hotel. By any means, it’s not a luxury resort. Everything is so old and outdated! When Canyon Ranch took over the property a few years ago, they did the bare minimum. The vinyl floors in the rooms are so cheaply done and they are all squeaky and sticky. The door handles look like a public restroom’s door handles. The spa is a joke. I’ve never seen anything that scary in my life. The pool is gross. Looks outdated and not well-kept. And don’t be fooled by the “all-inclusive” classes all led by the same guy (yoga, aqua aerobics, meditation). Aren’t you supposed to have different people for each practice? The food had very limited variety. All the waiters in the restaurant were very nice though, so that’s the some positive feedback. And the nature and the trails are gorgeous. But you don’t have to spend an insane amount of money and stay at Canyon Ranch to enjoy them. All the trails are available and open to the public. You can drive 30 minutes and stay in a real luxury 5-star hotel in Palo Alto for 3x less and just drive to the woods for the hiking. Even the trails are not walking distance, they have a minivan to take you to all the trails, and the vehicle is smelly, moldy and dirty, something you’d experience in a third world country, not at a luxury resort. So, unfortunately I’d never recommend Canyon Ranch to anyone, nor would I ever return.

Amazing retreat getaway location in the midst of the redwoods. A hidden gem off the side of Silicon Valley. I stayed a short visit and loved the location, services, activities and staff there. The food choices are amazing and healthy. Mindfulness, fitness, and relaxation are stressed at this retreat and it offers mind, body, heart, and spiritual healing and growth. I had a medical emergency that night and the staff was beyond caring and helpful while I the EMTs came to take me to ER. You will be well taken cared of at this retreat and is welcoming to all no matter what stage of life you are at. A great investment for your health and well-being. P.S. they also have amazing chai latte drinks and a piano in their lounge.

I started my retreat round a year and a half ago. Stayed here at their tree house in 2021 over a weekend. It was a beautiful stay.Tree house rooms are just wonderful. The privacy, the view and the comfort. Unbeatable.Food here were just so fresh and well put together. All of them were beautiful. Love them all!All classes offered are worth a visit. I enjoyed the walking tour, Pilates, stretch/recovery classes. Also swam here a bit. All nice.I also tried their massage here. It was so good. One of the best massage I ever had. People here are working so hard and so committed. In a way, they beat esalen for the class organizations, the comfort and the food. I would like to come back again.

I had a lovely, relaxing 2 day spa vacation at CR Woodside with my friend. I wish we would have stayed Thursday-Sunday to experience everything they had to offer. The staff, headed by the fabulous manager, Rona, were all so friendly and responsive. The food is incredible, service is impeccable, treehouse room is large and lovely, setting is peaceful and wooded and spa treatments are wonderful. We went on two hikes that were amazing where we got to know some of the other guests well. We loved the Yoga Nidra class in the evening. I’ve also been to CR Tucson and would say that Woodside is more down to earth and peaceful.

I received a gift card for my birthday to use at Canyon Ranch in Woodside. Since I live close by, a stay there didn't make sense for me so I chose to use the gift card towards products in their gift shop and spa. The reception I received from Rona, the general manager and her team members including Tim and Mathessey, was beyond anything I would have expected. They treated me as if I had just booked the best room for a ten-day stay. Rona - who is so lovely and kind - welcomed me and my husband into the facility, offered us beverages and bent over backwards to let me see what was available for sale so that I could make good use of my gift card. She even pulled experts from the spa to tell me about the products for sale. I just couldn't get over the warm and generous reception towards visitors who were not official guests. That high level of customer service coupled with the impressive facility will have me recommending this resort to any one who needs a beautiful and quiet place to escape to. Thank you Canyon Ranch Woodside!

I stayed at CR to reconnect with two dear friends. I was expecting it to be special but three things exceeded expectations- the location in the redwoods was awe inspiring. The room was beautiful and so comfortable, incredible bed. Lastly, the staff. They were so genuine and genuinely interested in creating an amazing experience for each guest. Doug is a total STAR. I can't wait to come back.

Our a daughter took me for my 79th birthday. what a treat!!Even though it was raining and cold in the redwoods, it could not havecbeen a better experience. We took walks, took advantage of the talks and exercise programs. Food (and wine) were delicious. Everything was beautifully executed. I loved the Tree house and employee enthusiasm and support! I am so surprised that people in the San Jose/Saratoga Los Gatos do not know that we have a canyon ranch in our backyard.

I recently came to Canyon Ranch Woodside on a company retreat. The service is top notch! We stayed in the treehouse rooms, which was an amazing experience. You really feel like you are one with nature. You have the option, when staying there, to partake in as many or as little amount of activities of your choosing. All the instructors were super nice and helpful and made our stay very enjoyable. The whole team working at Canyon Ranch is amazing and very friendly. I personally did a lovely Redwoods hike, kayaking, photography class, Mala bracelet making, and did a seed to skin facial at the spa. The food was great! Really recommend for someone who wants to get away - either to recenter oneself or on a girls trip, anniversary trip, etc. Look forward to coming back again and would totally recommend to my family and friends!
